This course offers a comprehensive overview of glass art design, encompassing introductory sessions, artwork analysis, and practical application of various glass processing techniques. Students will learn about the characteristics of glass materials, gain insights into design principles, and develop proficiency in techniques such as prototype production, silicone molding, wax injection, and refining. The teaching approach consists of theoretical lectures, case studies, and hands-on practice sessions, providing students with a well-rounded understanding of glass artistry.

Throughout the course, students will progress through different stages of learning. They will begin with safety training and an introduction to the artistic qualities of glass, followed by sessions on design sketching and prototype creation. Subsequent weeks will focus on advanced techniques, including silicone mold replication, wax injection, and refining processes. Additionally, students will engage in practical exercises such as sandblasting and acid polishing to enhance their skills further.

The course emphasizes a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Through theoretical lectures and case studies, students will gain insights into the theoretical underpinnings of glass art design and analyze artworks by both domestic and international artists. Hands-on practice sessions will allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, enabling them to create and refine glass artworks under the guidance of experienced instructors.

By the end of the course, students will have developed a strong foundation in glass artistry, equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to create and refine glass artworks independently. They will have gained confidence in using various glass processing techniques and will be prepared to apply their skills in real-world design projects. Overall, the course aims to foster students' creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills in the field of glass art design.
